...because I'm not dead yet.
I am, however, in the hospital...been here for several days now, after being ill about a month. It happened kind of suddenly, and I have had no access to a computer for the duration.
I finally just today got my laptop brought to me by a saintly friend...along with a change of clothes.
First, I'm fine. Seems I have Lyme Disease, which is unpleasant but very treatable.
But mainly, my apologies to those who have applied for membership, or otherwise had to wait while I been offline. I'll be with ya soon...
